Well I've usually liked the addition of rain water to my systems since it usually happens when the weather is warm and the fish are eating well so dilution hasn't usually been a big issue. Also, my well water is so hard that getting rain water to top up the system allows me to achieve a lower pH which also helps the plants.

Keep in mind, my location in inland central FL up on the Ridge seems to get missed by a lot of the rain so I don't get an abundance of rain overflowing my systems the way many other parts of Florida will.
